5 Transportation Plan and provide a north-south corridor. The 1999 Anoka County TH 242/CSAH 14 Access Management Plan identifies at-grade full access at Wood Duck Trail and CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and restricted movements along the site’s corridor. The site plan has been reviewed by Anoka County Highway Department. They have identified the need for additional right-of-way (70-75 feet) and right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street). Twelve foot wide east bound and west bound turn lanes have been shown on the site plan. Detailed construction plans have been submitted with the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat and are being reviewed by Anoka County. The internal road system (Streets A thru C) has 60 foot wide right-of-ways and 32 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. Street D (Hazelwood Court) and Street E (Elmwood Court) are cul de sacs with 60 foot wide right-of-way and 30 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. The intersection of Street A and CSAH 14 (Main Street) has an 80 foot wide right-of- way and 42 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. Sidewalks are proposed along the east side of both Glenwood Drive and Haywood Drive. Haywood Drive terminates in a temporary dead-end to the west, abutting 8024 Wood Duck Trail. This stub provides opportunity for future extension and residential development to Wood Duck Trail. This is consistent with the County Access Management Plan. Haywood Drive also terminates in a temporary cul de sac to the north and provides opportunity for future extension to the north. Street B (Basswood Drive) provides future access to Lino Lakes Elementary School to the east. In 2017, the school began a building remodeling and parking lot reconstruction project. An opportunity to eliminate the school’s west driveway and connect with Natures Refuge was identified as a safety benefit. The City and Anoka County are working with the school district to complete this connection. Ultimately, it is the school districts decision when to make this connection. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide are provided along all lot lines. Easements at least 20 feet wide are provided over utility pipes. Drainage and utility easements are dedicated 10 feet above the high water level over stormwater drainage ponds and 10 feet outward from the delineated wetland boundary. This requirement is satisfied because easements have been dedicated over the entire outlots. Rear lot lines also have a minimum 10 foot wide easement. A 100 foot wide private utility easement in favor of Great River Energy exists along the southern boundary of the development. Landscaping shall be allowed in the drainage and utility easements covering the 15 foot wide landscape buffer area in Outlot E and Outlot F.
